Stock, with scheduled maint. and not abused, I'd guess 150-200k.

111,000 miles & haven't done any head or block work other than installing cam gears.

btw - I drive the car hard

I've run ~15 HPDE's with this car & done all of the maintenance myself.

I think Dave's estimate is probably pretty good. I'm expecting to open her up in another 30-40k for valve springs, rings, etc...

not many ITRs have even reached that mileage yet but I'm sure it can be pushed past 100k pretty easily as long as the maintance has all been done on time or earlier.

It would be hard to say how healthy the motor is exactly at that point though.

There are definitely quite a few ITR owners who are over 100,000. That includes some well known Florida folks who are known to thrash the cars on occasion.

My own car burned a piston at Summit Point at just shy of 80,000 mi. This is an ITR that has been driven by me, race drivers, instructors and others on the road and on the track, and frequently pushed. Can't really complain.

At Expo-3, I don't think it really caught much of a break at all. LOL... I think it was in every session for two days.

sorry to bring up an old post but I was wondering if anybody could provide like a scheduled maintenance outline? I'm thinking about getting a car with 145k miles on it and I'm clueless on how long its going to last. I've tried searching but this is the closet I've come.

Look in the FAQ section here under maintenance, it gives a quick overview of basic maintenance intervals. If you want to get more detailed, look for a helms or an Integra service manual.

I can see an itr motor go past 200k easy with the right maintanence and of course a driver that doesn't beat on it.

The recommended intervals for scheduled maintenance also appear in the owner's manual.
